I'm thinking of using this on reeds to stiffen a historical corset. Will being next to body heat soften this product and stain the fabric?

I used this product on a tiki bar which is outside. It's been exposed to heat and humidity and I've never noticed it softening or melting. If anything it dries out and gets crunchy.

Personally I would not use this on anything that has contact with the body - First of all it takes a long time to dry (maybe a week) and during the drying process it is very sticky. Second I do not think that it will stiffen the reeds. It seems to be a more flexible product.

No, I can't see this happening at all. I put it on my floor that is covered with pennies. It is very hard. Totally sealed. It has been down a year, with no problems.

I used in on a 100% silk pants suit; it worked well. Unlike with heavier fabric, you won't need to touch it to the fabric. Hold the steamer a couple of inches away and work from the bottom up, hand-smoothing as you go.

Seeing as how the skirt part has no heating elements in it, it's safe to discard that part and use only the heated area. I'd hem up the edges to prevent fraying. Otherwise, you have a good idea going there! I've enjoyed my heated pad very much and look forward to once again putting it on our bed for the cooler months!

you will need interfacing to stiff the fabric and make sure it does not fray like satin does at times. It made a nice dress but it did come with a stain but it was at the place where it was not going to matter. I would check it before using it.

Hi Deanna, this is what I used it for. I have a very expensive leather sofa that looked warn. This does a great job of cleaning and softening the leather (leaves sort of a natural sheen). I use it on my sofa every six months or so. From now on, this is the only product I will use on dyed leather. It will darken natural leather. Love the stuff.

I've used this in all types of clothes even my carpet. I've never had a problem. If it's a set in stain I pretreat with the oxy gel stick before washing.

I would have to say no, my wife uses it to cross stitch. It does not give off damn near any heat

I use it with a heating iron that goes to 480+ and have never had a problem with tacky feelings. It actually "burns" off, protecting the hair from the extreme heat being used.

I don't know a lot about treating fabric (to make softer?), but I used this to cover my dining chair cushions, and it's a very rough fabric with a canvas-y feel to it. I hope that makes sense. Probably not ideal for a blanket although the pattern and colors are really pretty in real life. Hope that helps!

Fraycheck will likely work as well on organza as any other fabric, but it usually turns the fabric darker where the glue is applied, so if you're doing it in a visible spot, be careful. Also, once the glue hardens, the applied edge will be stiffer, another thing to take into account with a sheer fabric like organza. And if you only treat a narrow edge of it, watch out for two things: A. The glue may soak up higher than you anticipated in organza (since most fabrics are a lot thicker; I've noticed it tends to soak up quite high if I'm not careful with satin ribbon), and B. the organza may rip if pressure is applied above that edge (once the glue is dry), since organza is so sheer. Hope this helps.

It's akin to Febreeze - only natural - so I'd assume you can use it on any fabric (test first to be sure, but I haven't had a problem with stains, even on microfiber).

For things like this, after getting the company's opinion, you should be careful and test in a less obvious spot. I have used it on a couple of wool needlepoint pillows with cotton velveteen backing (both were vintage and not made by the same person, they were different colors etc) and noticed no damage. But I didn't do a before and after picture.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with it and gently work the stain. Condition with protectant.

I use retin a at night. I have had no problems with staining or degrading of the silk. Wash as much as you wish on gentle cold in a lingerie bag and hang to dry. No heat.

It has worked for me on some microfiber clothing. I even use this as a stain remover for certain types of stains.

I have sprayed the product on all kinds of fabrics and never had a stain of any kind but I have never sprayed a a fabric as heavy as a coat. I suspect that the coat was saturated, which is what one would be tempted to do to get a response. I do not think the product is intended for anything as heavy as a coat.

The temp setting on your iron does not make a difference. This product does not adhere fabrics together. It will melt but it will not adhere. I went to fabric store and bought hem bond by Singer and it worked like a charm even at low settings. Don't waste your money or your time.
